Operation Steel

v1.4.8
To celebrate the release of Operation STEEL on Switch here is a small patch to make the game a bit more friendly for new players! Thanks everyone for your support!

Changelog:


  • Increase player health on Novice mode
  • Changed boss/miniboss health pools a tiny bit (most have slightly less health now)

Switch Release and price change!
To coincide with Operation STEEL being released on Nintendo Switch, the Steam version's price is being reduced to match the Switch version!

The new price is $10 USD. Thanks to everyone who has supported me in the past!

v1.4.6
Changelog:

A few fixes for high refresh-rate monitors (First miniboss in Planet X, particularly.)

Minor Update
Increased some UI text sizes for better visibility on small screens.

v1.4.5
Changelog:


  • Fix tutorial not resetting game mode
  • Fix tutorial achievement not triggering correctly
  • Fix menu allowing multiple inputs in quick succession

v1.4.4 + Bonus goodies!

Changelog:




  • New Accessibility option for auto-shot. Now you do not have to hold the shot button, and but you can hold it to stop firing
  • Accessibility menu is now closed if escape is pressed (bugfix)
  • Seed is now always shown between levels
  • Backshot buffed
  • Big Phoenix miniboss health reduced again because everyone hates this guy


Bonus!


Also another bonus to celebrate Shmup Fest... Operation STEEL now has Steam Community items available!
Hopefully you've now got some trading cards if you've played the game a bit. Badges, profile backgrounds and emojis are now available - including a special Bullet Heaven emoji kindly donated by Ed of

Steam Shmup Fest!
Steam Shmup Fest is upon us!

Not only is Operation STEEL going for a historic low price for this week, the fantastic Sophstar has joined the Indie Shmup Bundle:

The bundle discount has increased so you'll get even more bang for your buck too :)

Celebrate Shmup Fest by showing some indie devs some love!

v1.4.3
Changelog:


  • Corgi no longer gets confused by volcanoes (Bug reported by DrMooCowz)

Indie Shmup Bundle + SteamDeck news
I'm happy to announce that Operation STEEL is no available in a bundle with two other awesome shmups released in 2022 as part of the Indie Shmup Bundle!

If you don't have Dead End City or TerraFlame yet I highly recommend picking up the bundle and getting them at a discount :)

In other news, I have been trying to get Steam Deck Verified status for Op. STEEL - very close right now but there are still some in-game text that is too small (OK, there are a couple... but nothing that is important while playing the game.) I'll make another update if I take another pass and get the verification.

Thanks for reading!

v1.4.2
Changelog

Sorry, nothing too exciting today!


  • Added ability to enter Seed without needing a keyboard
  • Some minor text size increases for better readability
